Few remained behind. The 151st Royal Battlemech Division, led by CO Lauren Hayes, did stay behind that day, to guard and protect the remnants of the SLDF as what then became known as Comstar.
Others, a fragmented few from remaining SLDF commissions, scattered across Terra and the Inner Sphere.
With Blake taking control of Comstar, and the declaration of Terra as an independent world, Blake created the First Circuit to administer ComStar’s affairs and fostered a “secret brotherhood” among ComStar’s members in order to keep the secrets of the Star League safe.
Blake died in 2819. Conrad Toyama of Dieron took control of ComStar. He replaced its corporate structure with a rigid, religious hierarchy, and shrouded its activities in mystic rituals. Toyama declared himself Primus, the highest authority in ComStar, bequeathing that august title and its responsibilities to every leader of ComStar who followed him.
Not all members of Comstar at that time where pleased with Conrad Toyama’s takeover and change in direction for Comstar and the SLDF. Nor where they interested in the split of radicals, some of which became “The Word of Blake” later in time.
Instead, these members split off from Comstar after Blake’s death, taking with them many secrets, and vowing to remain vigilant in their defense of Terra as a neutral world, from their places across the inner sphere.
As the generations passed, these men and women and their children spread across the Inner Sphere, fighting on Solaris, hunting as pirates, or selling their mechs to the highest bidder in order to survive.
Some became simple farmers and city dwellers.
Rumours are that some of these men and women still exist today. Shadows of a time long past, appearing at any time, swaying a battle or confrontation in one direction, or the other.
Some say, they exist to keep the balance. Others, that they exist to preserve a free Terra for all denizens of the Inner Sphere, and to rise and stand against any who would threaten such a thing. Still others claim all these rumours as unfounded, untrue, or simply pass them off as old wives tales.
The truth may indeed be as elusive as the rumours.
